Re: Mercury and psychiatric disorders & ALA chelation possibly dangeroues?

Mike - You're not demented. I don't know what else is going on, but not that.

Look, I don't think I've gotten clear:

(1) Do you have all your amalgams out??

(2) Have you done a hair test?

Got two issues concerning ala alone chelation:

>1)Let's assume that one has to use ALA alone (the cutler way) for

mercury detox cause they cant handle dmsa or use dmps for some reason

and that it's been at least 6 months post removal. Now given the fact

that one can have a high body burden isn't it danegroues to use ALA

for possible gettin more mercury ino the brain?

The point of waiting 3 months after the last exposure is to let the pressure in

brain and body equilibrate. Once they are equilibrated, then opening up the

BBB is not dangerous

>yeah the blood levels

can still be low, but it never made sense to me, cause ala is not

selective, it will pick up mercury everywhere in the body and as long

as it's in the blood it will carry it across the blood brain barrier

Only if the pressure is higher in the body.

>and then dump it in the brain at the end of the round. So let's say

70% of mercury is body burden 30% is brain, so when using ala can that

get all mixed up? (like 40% brain 60% body though of course overall

less mercury cause you're chelating).

>And even if not, if u have high body burden and chelate with ALA

solely u still need to use dozens of rounds to get better, and along

the way it's dozens of brain mercury redistribution (each one for the

end of each round) and that in itself seems dangerous (cause each time

mercury settles in brain it will cause damage). Of course the closer

you are to the end of chelation process the less emrcury will settle,

but tat's the end phase of chelation, but in the starting phase there

will be a lot of it cause you have high body burden.

The body pools have a short half life. The brain pools are there pretty much

forever.

>Of course the ideal situation would be getting the body burden down

first with dmps/dmsa, but as I said, what if some people cant use those.

Then you wait until the body (vs brain) burden lessens by itself.

>2) the ALA-Hg chelate is as andy says mainly metabolised throught the

bile pathway, so most of the ala chelated mercury ends up in the

digestive track and toxins are known to easily get reabsorbed from the

digestive track unless removed quickly, so would that be

counterproductive in many cases , and would there be a danger of

mercury brain redistribution since it's an ALA-Hg-chelate that can

easily crosses the BBB (...or doesnt?)

There is a lot less mercury in your body than the ALA you consume, so there is

a _lot_ of ALA going out through the bowel. I don't know the details of this,

but I " m guessing that the danger of it coming back in is pretty small.

Anyone else?
